This presentation was originally presented at Drupal Camp Toronto, 2012. To view the video cast of this presentation visit http://fosterinteractive.com/blog/responsive-design-case-study -----DESCRIPTION----- responsivedesign.ca was launched in February of 2012, and it was well received. It was our first mobile-first responsive site. We built it quickly and knew it wasn’t perfect, but the game plan was to launch early and incrementally improve the site over time. It’s not even a year later we use whole new workflows, creative design methods, modules, and development tools in our responsive websites. This talk will highlight how we created the original project and what we’ve since learned regarding workflow and development including: Responsive Images Modules Creative Concept Development Device vs. Natural Breakpoints SASS / Compass + Mixins we use Dealing with IE Benchmarking ----- Originally Presented at Drupal Camp Toronto 2012 ----- http://2012.drupalcamptoronto.org/sessions/a-responsive-design-case-study-what-we-did-wrong-building-responsivedesignca-and-how-we-fix
